Queensland Corvette Car Club will host the Corvette National Convention in 2026
35th Corvette Nationals
Sunshine Coast Australia 2026
The Corvette Nationals is a premier event that unites passionate fans of the
iconic American sports car, the Corvette. This year marks the 36th event in
Australia, and it promises to be bigger and better than ever before. Hosted by
the Queensland Corvette Club Inc., in partnership with our esteemed sponsors
and supporters, this year’s event will take place at the stunning Peppers Resort
Noosa on the Sunshine Coast.
At the heart of the Nationals are, of course, the Corvettes. From vintage classics
to the latest high-performance models, the event will feature an impressive
display of these iconic machines from across Australia. Attendees will have the
unique opportunity to witness some of the rarest and most beautiful Corvettes
showcased during the Saturday Show and Shine – the only public day of the
event.
The Corvette Nationals is far more than just a car show – it’s a four-day
celebration for Corvette enthusiasts packed with activities and highlights
designed to entertain and engage everyone. Kicking off with a Friday night Meet
and Greet, the weekend also includes Saturday’s Show and Shine and a dinner
at Australia Zoo. On Sunday there are two exciting activities to choose from
during the day, before culminating with the Gala Dinner and Awards Night in the
evening.
Registrations for ‘Get Your Kicks in 26’ are now open online.
We encourage early registration to secure your spot and take advantage of
exclusive early bird discounts.
We look forward to welcoming you to this unforgettable event, celebrating the
legacy and future of the Corvette and the Australian Corvette community.
Drive Your Dream.
